“Sandy, everybody’s on. Go ahead.”
“Thanks Paul. Devil, you there?”
“Here, Sandy.”
“Great. Angel?”
“Here.”
“Good. Thanks for coming on the call, guys. As Paul told you, we’re exploring all our options where R.A. Dickey is concerned, and as part of our due diligence, we want to get your input. I think the best way to go about it is to [...]
 
Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans. Greg Prince discovered the Mets when he was 6, during the magical summer of 1969. He is a Long Island-based writer, editor and communications consultant. Contact him here. Jason Fry is a Brooklyn writer whose first memories include his mom leaping up and down cheering for Rusty Staub. Check out his other writing here. Got something to say?

Dickey, Sandy Alderson, Tough Calls There are several numerical ways to flesh out the state of the Mets after Wednesday night’s rerun of Tuesday night, which was a carbon copy of Monday night (assuming that creepy dude from W.B. Mason still sells carbon paper), which wasn’t materially different from Sunday afternoon’s defeat, if you can remember back that far in [...] 21 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2012 Mets, August, Awfulness, Garrett Olson, Johan Santana, Matt Harvey, Sandy Alderson, Terry Collins, The Last Hurrah As I wrote yesterday, the Mets do nothing and then they do bad things and then they do dumb things. That was true again tonight, except it was far worse. Yesterday’s game was depressing and discouraging. Tonight’s was infuriating — a bone-headed, brain-dead disaster that was sickening to witness. The Mets are utterly horrible and completely [...] If a pitcher can be deemed “major league” after two starts, Matt Harvey would seem to be it. His lifetime mark has dropped to 1-1, which isn’t an accurate reflection of how well he pitched against the Giants Tuesday night and — whatever we think of the usefulness of pitchers’ won-lost records — probably doesn’t [...] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | .500, Bill Denehy, Dick Selma, Matt Harvey, Sandy Alderson, Scott Hairston, Tim Lincecum, Tom Seaver, Trades Try to be cool and analytical all you want, but if you’re a fan eventually you’ll give in to fury and bloodlust. I’M NEVER ATTENDING ANOTHER GAME UNLESS THEY RELEASE LUIS CASTILLO BY MORNING! AARON HEILMAN MUST BE MAROONED ON A DESERT ISLAND WITHOUT EVEN A VOLLEYBALL FOR COMPANY! CHAIN DOUG SISK [...] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Brad Emaus, D.J. Carrasco, Fans, Robert Carson, Sandy Alderson, Terry Collins Well it’s lonesome in this old town How many pitchers does it take to replace Mike Pelfrey? More than one, we can now state with absolute certainty. The front office that we reflexively tag with the genius label didn’t exactly have a [...] 18 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Astros, Casey Stengel, Chris Schwinden, Embalmed, Mike Nickeas, Mike Pelfrey, Mosquitoes, Routine, Sandy Alderson Apparently Sandy Alderson made the media rounds yesterday, discussing Mets doings with Mike Francesa. I didn’t hear it, as I have it on good authority that Francesa is the exclusive radio voice in Hell, and see no reason to get an early start on that. MetsBlog summed it up anyways, and most of it was [...] Back in May I wondered what it would feel like when the number of Jose Reyes Mets highlights remaining were reduced to zero. Now we know. It sucks. Jose Reyes is no longer a Met. That’s awful enough right there, but of course it’s worse. Jose Reyes is a Miami Marlin. Eighteen times a year, starting in late [...] 27 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Disappointment, Fans, Jose Reyes, Marlins, Sandy Alderson, Wilpons “When I’m finished, I’ll get the best seat to see him play. I’ll pay whatever price to see him play.” Somewhere in the midst of the conference call Sandy Alderson held with some of us bloggers last Thursday night, the Mets’ general manager used an unremarkable phrase that caught [...] 21 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | An Appreciation, Farewells, Fun, Jose Reyes, Sandy Alderson, Violation of Trust Funny, Frankie Rodriguez gets traded and I keep thinking about Omar Minaya. And not entirely in a negative way, either. In thinking about the confounding yet entertaining 2011 Mets, you can’t miss that a number of the team’s more encouraging success stories — Jonathon Niese, Daniel Murphy, R.A. Dickey, Dillon Gee, Justin Turner and Ruben Tejada — [...] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Bobby Parnell, Frankie Rodriguez, Omar Minaya, R.A. Dickey, Sandy Alderson |
